I know you speak it. I WILL FIX IT! West Coast (California) English. We walk, we talk, I correct! FUN! Learn by playing !

Hello! If you can understand this message without having to translate then you are ready for my help! I am from California, and have been living here in Brussels since 2012. I am 39 years old. I speak West Coast (California) English. It's the English you hear in your favorite California movies. I love to help friends who already speak "european street English" while HAVING FUN! Did you know that 70% of learning a language is learned OUTSIDE of a classroom setting? So I propose we go to the park, we cook together, we go on a bike ride, we draw, we play. And of course we will talk a lot. When I hear an error I will correct you in a fun way, writing things for you, with FUN AND REAL examples, with drawings, ALWAYS STAYING 100% in English. That's correct, I will only speak English to you, because as you and I both know, you already speak English, and you have understood everything (or maybe 70%) of everything I just wrote. What you want is to improve or perfect your spoken English (we can work on writing, too). Immersion and fun, West Coast Style. And my university degree? Yes, I have two of them, in Languages and Literatures, and I speak 4 fully fluent languages, but for now I want you to learn by HAVING FUN! My friends can tell you how fun it is to learn with me. HOPE WE GET TO PLAY TOGETHER SOON! You can do it! Groups ok.

Extra information

Lessons in Bruxelles neighborhoods are ok. If outside of the Bruxelles 19, I ask for an extra fee for gas and travel (for 25 km maximum from Brussels).

English Tutoring for improving conversation skills or creative writing
Originally from the UK, I have been working and travelling abroad for the last few years so I understand the difficulties and beauty of learning a new language. I enjoy working with conversation practice as well as more traditional methods of learning grammer - I believe it is important to adapt to each individual's needs and areas of interest in the process of helping them achieve their goals. I have worked as an English teacher to refugees as well as teaching dance and somatic movement practices online and in person. Currently I am based in Brussels but am happy to work online or come to you! In my own creative practice I work with poetry as well as performative spoken word, however I am happy to talk about a wide range of subjects with you. I will encourage you to read and discover new vocabulary at your own speed as well as in classes in a non-judgmental and fun atmosphere.

Conversational English - focus: dialogue, vocabulary and pronunciation
I am proposing a conversational class, meant to approach any kind of subject in a calm and relaxed manner; a certain grammar input is obvious, but the goal is to focus on the dialogue, vocabulary and pronunciation. I possess a Cambridge CAE Certificate, the equivalent of C1 level.

Annelise
Native English teacher for children and teenagers.
I've been teaching English to small children up to teenagers at École Française Internationale. I give lessons for beginners and intermediate levels. I mix between French and English so the pupil doesn't get too confused, but also allows them to understand every detail. For beginners, we usually talk about our surroundings, what's close to us and what affects us on a daily basis. (Numbers, directions, the weather, asking simple questions, what's a noun and pronoun and where to put them in a sentence). I like to find playful activities so that the pupil/student is in control of their work. It also stimulates their motivation. Of course, this is an example for a certain age group, but it also varies depending on their knowledge and their age. For intermediates, we make basic conversation. Ex: How do you go to school; What do you do in your free time? ; What's the weather like? The lessons depend on whether the student is learning for their personal knowledge or if it's for school. -------------------------------- The start of the course with a new learner consists of detecting their level by talking about their background, what they already know, what they must master in order to no longer have any gaps. The first lesson also allows the learner to get comfortable and get to know me to establish mutual trust. That’s why I use a touch of my British humor to achieve this. (I generally do this at the start of the lesson with my students to establish a good mood and they are always delighted!) To help the learner better engage with the learning, I will ask them what their passions/hobbies are, this who interests him to arouse interest in learning. I will adapt my lessons on subjects that speak to him more. Depending on age and level of knowledge of English, the method will vary. I play with songs if it's for vocabulary or accent, it helps me memorize better and what's better in song... Everyone listens to music! No matter the reason for the course, if it is to improve oral, written, reading or listening comprehension, I organize audio sessions, readings, everything necessary to deepen the language using the active pedagogy that I learned during my CAP training. I can play the news from the BBC news channel, the weather forecast, the trailer for a film. My goal is for the learner to evolve gradually with as few gaps as possible.

Jonah
Learn German or English with an ex-patrié
German-American offers its humble services to accompany you in learning its mother tongues, whether it's for exam success or just for the simple pleasure of better understanding the words of Goethe or Faulkner. Sharing my languages through common interests, such as music, theater or film, are my favorite ways to start learning. The learning approach is of course tailor-made, according to the desires, needs and abilities of the learner.
